I've been on a course all weekend so I didn't expect to get time to do this with all the travelling too - but I popped the air ducting and alternator off tonight and removed the knock sensor. I've repaired (had to slightly extent) the wiring, and refitted everything. Cleared the codes, and been for a longish run.

The good news is, the code 16 hasn't come back, and the autobox is now behaving as it was before - so I'm happy that's a good achievement tonight

Also thankfully means we should be OK to do the gearbox update at newent (I'll be doing a lot of miles between now and then to confirm all is still well!)

The only code I've got coming back now is code 38 (lambda one) on it's own. I'm going to test the sensor, by swapping the lambda's and seeing if the code changes

Time for a curry and a cold one

Interesting that a knock sensor code makes the autobox behavior so bad!

Good to hear it's finally going in the right direction

Makes perfect sense

- happy bunny now.

When I clear the lambda code, the EML goes off for a couple of miles, and then comes back on, flickering very fast.
Do you think it's the sensor? No other codes anymore, just 38....

Dont worry....the bulb will blow soon........then no more EML issues

Might be worth having a look at the live data to see if the Lambda is working Ok and if it has wound a huge fuel trim on. Swapping sides might be a nice test but only if you can remove both Lambda sensors easily. Otherwise you might end up having to fork out for 2 of them.

I remember the wiring to the troublesome sensor was dangling perilously close to the exhaust. Might be worth checking it's still intact and securing it a bit better (meant to put a cable tie on it when we did the wishbones).
